MAY 14TH-15TH, HOMER & CRISTINA LADAS WORKSHOPS

The MIT Argentine Tango Club is thrilled to bring Homer and Cristina Ladas to Boston on May 14th-15th! Check out the schedule below and register now to reserve your spot. Register for the classes HERE.

*Homer & Cristina Ladas *
Homer & Cristina Ladas work towards the fusion of all tango concepts via the `one tango` philosophy in an attempt to reduce barriers that may inhibit themselves or other folks from really finding their own dance. Each with over 15 years of experience emphasizing a fusion of social tango ideologies, they like to dance & teach a variety of connected, musical, dynamic, interesting, creative, liberating, ideas, techniques and movements. It has been said, on more than one occasion, that few dancing couples improvise with such skill, personality, and fluidity of movement. As teachers they are committed to creating a positive class environment where small epiphanies can & do occur in their students. Here are a couple of their recent performance videos: Asheville workshop performance, and NY Nocturne *fun* performance. More information about them available on their website - the organic tango school.
